Just returned from a weeks stay at the sofitel with 2 other couples. it was my husbands first time to bali so thought i'd take him somewhere nice and a bit quieter than staying in kuta. hotel was lovely and the staff very friendly and helpful. would definitly stay there for a more peaceful holiday. more

This hotel is located in Seminyak, which is north of Kuta. This is a good thing. The beach is less crowded with less hawkers. There is still plenty of sand to squeeze between your toes. The hotel itself has a good location. Many bars, restaurants, and shops are within walking distance. Many more are within a short cab ride (less... more

Called the hotel reservations DIRECTLY to ask them if they had a day use pool package (not expecting they would, actually) and the person on the other end said, "yes" quickly and confidently, just as quickly as she quoted the fee of 50,000 Rp for each person. Great, I thought. I also asked what their rates were for 9/7 and... more

We normally prefer to stay in smaller boutique hotels, but wasn't convinced with the standard that you'd get in Bali with so called 'boutique' hotel (and have read some bad reviews on some of them on this site).

We found lots of lovely restaurants in seminyak for example "Gado Gado" Which offered amazing food and unbelieveable cocktails at a fair price. Negitives about the hotel are: - we booked in to a cooking class and the hotel... more

My new husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks on our honeymoon. I still get warm, happy feelings about this beautiful venue a year on! The staff were so attentive and friendly, they looked after us as if we were a member of the family. We are looking to go back within the next couple of years (seeing as... more

I have stayed in this hotel several times and cannot wait to go back (in Sept 08),Having travelled to Bali many times, this place is definately my number 1 pick of hotels. The location is perfect for me and my interests. The pool area is beautiful and I like the fact that I can see my husband surf without having... more

Arrived at Sofitel with 3 girlfriends and we were upgraded to the royal villa. Was totally amazing - two stories of pure decadence. Two amazing large rooms - two massive bathrooms both with spas and our own private pool. Found the staff very friendly - loved hanging by the pool and never really had an issue with finding sun lounges.... more

My husband and I recently stayed at the Sofitel Bali in Semanyak for our honeymoon and had a truly wonderful experience. We had booked a deluxe room , but when we arrived we were upgraded to an incredible villa. This generosity really made our honeymoon special. The villas and grounds of the villas at the hotel are gorgeous, one feels... more
